Things are... happening.
Today, Marvel.com announced some pretty big news about Sean McKeever and I doing another mini-series at the House of Ideas. I figured it was time to let everybody in on how busy 2011 is shaping up to be.
First off, of course, is Fear Itself: Youth In Revolt this May from Marvel. For the first time in four years I'm doing a Marvel series (My DC exclusive expires this month.) and it's with the guy I started over there with. On top of it all, the character we created together, Gravity, is playing a major role in the book. You can read more about it at Marvel.com and hopefully you'll put it on your pull list.
Of course, I'm not giving up Young Justice at DC. Art and Franco are a joy to work with and I'm loving the characters. I hope you're watching that series weekly and buying the comic as well. If you're not, well... I'm just plain sad.
I'm pretty fast.
Keeping on in the "Big News" department- My BRAND NEW WEBCOMIC Battlepug is launching on Monday (Valentine's Day). I'm pretty excited about this. Since I've been doing The Curse the past two years on 24-Hour Comic Day, I've really caught the bug to do something creator-owned that is just quick and fun and hopefully entertaining to all of you. You can read it every Monday at www.battlepug.com.
I've also been drawing a webcomic weekly for a few months now called Verum Corpus. Have you been reading it? Please do. It's good. I'd thank you for it. You can read it online here!
The last and definitely not least involves my creator-owned character The Answer, 4 Star Studios (the group Tim Seeley, Josh Emmons, Sean Dove and I founded a year ago), and a lot of cool crap that is gonna go down at C2E2. Unfortunately, I can't reveal the big secret yet. It's coming though, people.
So that's about it. We're just a month and a half in to 2011, and things have never been crazier (in a good way) Creator-owned comics and grass roots movements are on the collective mind of the comic buying population right now. I'm excited to be a part of it as well as getting to draw characters I love from the companies I grew up reading comics from.
Yay comics!
